Okay, so I saw Showtime's Reefer Madness tonight. It was alright. Far from brilliant, but pretty funny at parts. Alan Cumming was especially funny, as was Amy Spanger, cuz her character kept falling down and walking into things. Kristen Bell was of course great as well, though not as great as she is on Veronica Mars , but I still got really sad when her character died. The S&M scene with Kristen and John Kassir was pretty great. The musical numbers were okay. Most of them weren't very memorable, but they didn't suck. It was a surprisingly bloody movie. It wasn't Kill Bill or Sin City , but it had quite a bit of shootings and chopping up of bodies and also some zombie violence. It had some sex, too, of course. If you're a fan of Christian Campbell's body, you'll probably enjoy this movie.

If you get Showtime, you might wanna consider watching this; it's fairly entertaining, but don't go out of your way to see it - the film's not all that memorable.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Um, okay.

We went and saw Sin City on Friday afternoon. Stylistically gorgeous. Pretty, pretty movie. However, if I watch it again, it will be with the sound off, and Lyra Jane explained why perfectly:

Too bad the script and performances didn't live up to the pretty shiny surfaces. There's a fine line between paying homage to cliches and just being cliched, and I think it ended on the wrong side of that line too often.

Woo hoo! I knew there was a reason I was eagerly anticipating this thing.

The Guardian Unlimited has a fun piece about best and worst accent mimicking.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Huh. Marsters gets the nod over Denisof?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

What's Winona Ryder doing on that list?

Dick Van Dyke below Marlon Brando & Keanu?

Maybe the latter accents are worse, but walk up to a random Brit and say "Dick Van Dyke!". 9 times out of 10, they'll groan, "Oh, that horrible accent in Mary Poppins" (seriously -- I've experimented). The same doesn't happen with Marlon or Keanu.

I wondered about Dick Van Dyke -- given that his name seems to be synonymous with a bad faux-Cockney accent.
